Frequently asked questions

Our protocol suits well the issues of hotel and travel business. However, it is a generic protocol that applies to many industries: restaurants, sports events, exhibitions, concerts, car repair, industrial equipment, and even cloud computing.

Other companies want to break the monopoly of online booking platforms just like us. Our positioning remains unique today. We position ourselves as a protocol that facilitates the emergence of a new ecosystem. Many applications will therefore be able to use our protocol. We have designed a generic protocol suited to all types of markets. Applications are designed to be used by the general public, usage is not restricted to token and cryptocurrencies holders.
